WATER HEATER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 318, 1922.

Application filed September 10, 1920. Serial No. 409,363.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnono L. EBBENGA, a citizen of Germany, residing at Sibley, in. the county of Osceola and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vater Heaters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in water heaters and more particularly to water heaters adapted primarily for use in heating water troughs to prevent the water from freezing so that such animals as are dependent upon the trough for drinking wa ter in very cold weather may not, on that account, be deprived of their water supply. A further object is to provide a water heater that is simple in construction and arrangement of parts, cheap to manufacture and efiicient in use.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described, pointed out in the appended claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application and in which- Fig. l is a front view of the heater with the stack removed.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the heater.

Fig. 3 is a cross section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. Fig. 2.

Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

My heater comprises a casing 1 which is divided by the grate 2 to form the ash pit 3 and fire chamber l. Also included in the casing 1 and divided off from the fire chamher 4 by the perforated partition 5 is the smoke chamber 6 into which the draft chamher 7, substantially the shape of an inverted L, opens; said draft chamber at its oppo 4 is a vertical section on line 4-4 of site or lower end opening into the ash pit 3,

Leading out from the fire chamber 4, through one wall thereof and above the grate 2, are the pipe links 8 which are connected by elbows 9 to the vertical pipe links 10 which are connected by other elbows 9 to the horizontal pipe links 11 that extend parallel to and beyond the adjacent wall of the casing and are connected by other elbows 9 .to the pipe links 12 that run at right angles to the pipe links 11 and are connected by other elbows 9 to the vertical pipe links 13 which are connected by elbows 9 to the pipe links 14 that are connected by similar elbows to the vertical pipe links 15 which extend into the smoke chamber 6. A stack 16 disposed upon and communicating with the smoke chamber carries off the smoke and creates a draft by introducing cold air into the smoke chamber and through the draft chamber 7 to the ash pit, said stack also permltting the escape of gases and hot air.

The fire chamber 4 is provided with. the door 17 having the handle 18 and connected to said chamber 4 by the hinges 19. The fuel is fed into the fire chamber through the door 17, when open, and the ashes are removed by first removing the grate through the same door and inverting the casing, the stack 16 being previously removed. Smoke, hot air and gases pass through the several pipe links and also through the perforated partition 5 into the smoke chamber and out of the same through the stack. The entire tank is immersed in the trough (not shown) and the pipes radiate heat through the water and prevent the same from freezing. The depth of the water in the trough is such that the entire tank will not be submerged but the several pipe links may be submerged and the top of the casing and the stack rising above the surface of the water.

W hat is claimed is In a water heater, a casing, a fire chamber in said casing, an ash pit in said casing, a grate separating said ash pit and fire chamber, a hinged door for said fire chamber, a smoke chamber in said casing, a perforated partition dividing said smoke chamber from said fire chamber, a draft chamber connecting said ash pit and smoke chamber, pipe links connecting said fire chamber and smoke chamber, said pipe links extending in pairs outwardly from said fire chamber and substantially encompassing said casing, and a stack for said smoke chamber whereby a forced air circulation is set up in said pipe links.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
